When We Are Closed

If you need a doctor between 18:30 and 08:00, when the surgery is closed, please telephone 111. This is a new service, similar to NHS Direct. They will discuss your problem with you and then direct you to the most appropriate help, which may be the Out of Hours GP service.

You can no longer ring the Out of Hours service directly.

Calls to 111 are free.

Alternatively you can ring the surgery number and you will be re-directed to 111 - but you may pay for the call in this case.

Out-of-hours services are generally busy so please think carefully before asking to see a doctor and only do so if you genuinely cannot wait until the surgery re-opens.

In a genuine emergency you should call 999. Chest pains and / or shortness of breath constitute an emergency.
